We are proud to announce the official release of the “*Comprehensive Diagnostic Guidline for Breast Imaging in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq-2026”* for the benefit of our radiologists and the wider community in the Kurdistan Region. This milestone was achieved through dedicated efforts from our radiology team and close collaboration with the professional surgeons in our region.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the main contributors and reviewers who devoted more than a year to preparing and writing this edition. The guideline has been thoroughly reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Health committee, and it carries the endorsement of KRA, IKAS, and the Kurdistan Doctors Syndicate.
In the coming period, a special event will be organized to formally launch this guideline, accompanied by a series of workshops designed to support our radiologists in applying its standards.
